I was riding my bike this morning and i got off to walk it through some debris to avoid a flat. All was fine until i got back on and noticed the twist shifter would roll itself to 6th gear unless i shifted to a lower gear and held it in place for the entire ride.
Any ideas? Just a loose cable perhaps?

Hold the wheel off the ground, crank it by hand, and shift all gears from High to Low.
You are testing from slack cable to tight cable.
Successful?
-No- Check for chain-shifter problems and adjust all cable fittings.
-Yes- Hold the wheel off the ground, crank it by hand, and shift all gears from Low to High.
-Now you are testing from tight cable to slack cable.
---Successful?
---No- Replace the worn-out twist-shifter. It is un-able to hold the cable tension.
---Yes- This tells us you weigh too much ! or... maybe the chain is stretched.
Note: Old-school cables would quickly lose their 'stretch' for lack of oil.

True regarding weight. I believe the suggted height weight max for this cheapo was 5'10 & 180. I guess 6'2 & 215 was a bit too much.
Someone suggested taking the shifter apart and flushing with wd40 but apparentlybits not meant to be taken apart. Ended busting a clip trying to put it back together.
So now im stuck with one gear but i can still adjust the derailleurs if i need to switch. Luckily its stuck on the mid-sprocket, 4th gear which is the one i use most often.
You can ride the Cheapos until the wheels wobble. Then it will auto-magically disintegrate. Read your warranty. ;>)
You need to shop for an All-metal, Dual-lever shifter. Mine mounted above the top forks bearing. Out-of-the-way & easy to adjust & no problems.
Ask the old fellow at the bike shop.
Also, Be extra careful when you stand up and pedal !
